What are you doing/did you do today?

Got to work about 6 hours today then get the weekend off. They cut out pay at work again but i still have a job so im thankful. Hooefully get some shit done this weekend!

Back to work! YUK!

Working on a MG MIGI kit car, tune up, carb rebuild, bling up engine bay, maintenance and issue correction.







Got her out of storage and need to start on her next...



Making new marker light gaskets...

How much for the gaskets? I need 2 sets...

Hadn't thought that far ahead about it yet... the picture is of my prototype, I have to cut out the pattern and start making some.

I'll noodle on it and PM you. Dan

Awesome. I could make them myself, but my time is more valuable so if youre willing to sell them then yeah, shoot me a pm haha

Cleaned the seats and detailed the engine bay a bit.

Well if you have to, but I am sure your hunydo list is waiting.


But not why I came.
I bought this '93 B2600 extended cab, not running, or I should say running poorly, trailered to my place, 90 miles for $700.
I bought it to pull the engine/tranny out of my '90 B2600 ext. cab which had a fire under the hood (ALWAYS wire the newly wired into the system fuel pump through an oil pressure controlled relay switch). The engine is from a 4.3 GM Vortec truck, went automatic instead of the 5 speed I planned to use, a Carbed, 4.3 v6 engine with '85 HEI distributor, no computer (190 horse, no work done).
I checked the compression on the engine in the new truck, it is 150 p.i.s.g. all four cylinders! New plug wires on it, new cap, I changed the plugs. Could get it to run better. I narrowed it down to the ecu.
I have a carb (Varajet, half a Quadrajet) intake I made from my '90 extended cab original 2600 engine.

I decide to go carbed and a non bot distributor on this engine and I am keeping this one. It runs great, now to find why the a/c circuit has no voltage at the low pressure switch, the ground part of the circuit is good.

Now I am hunting another extended cab for the 4.3 with a 5 speed, if it is a standard, or the automatic on it, with a shyft kit.. I course it will have to have a bad motor, maybe the next one will have a bad engine!

Are you absolutely SURE about that? The AC circuit is complicated. Most electrical issues seem to be from (2) dirty AC-push-in switches and (1) bad blower resistor if you're not getting voltage at the "hot" side of the pressure switch on the receiver-drier. If you get positive voltage on one side of receiver-drier but not on the other, then likely your refrigerant is all visiting Mr. Atmosphere.

No the ground side is good, no voltage on the other side, engine running, fan on, ac pushed in. Probably a wire routing required, since there is a blank spot where the ecu was. Have not checked the ac switch, fuse is good, power to the fuse is too. Another day.
